"I consistently believe that when it comes to ... reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."
- Barack Obama, August 2008

The coup de grace for any hopes Obama had for a second term.

According to the reparations mindset, therefore, President Obama’s $1.25 billion for 70,000-plus black farmers is hardly even a beginning.

This is going to get real ugly!

So, what kind of ?????-nomics is this Kenyan Clown practicing…get-even-with’mism-nomics or just plain Marx-African racist politics and practices; how convenient to have a massive slush-fund on hand.

I guess it really is true that blacks can’t make it without handouts. It took a while, but now I’m convinced.

Congress, as well as a federal judge, will have to approve the deal.

Obama is going for everything!

Outrageous overreach! Just the start of reparations.

Does that include rich black sportsmen who have invested in farming as a tax write off?

Change we all do not believe in. The runaway train is in full steam ahead and now it’s not monthly, or daily it is hourly - how much more change is going on behind closed doors. Frightening.

Let us look at this affair from the perspective only of process and procedure to illustrate how the left gets its way against the Constitution, political realities, and the will of the people.

There is no question that the president of the United States simply lacks constitutional authority to hand $1.2 billion to farmers simply because they are black. It is even questionable whether the Constitution, even as it has been distorted to date, can be torqued enough to justify handing federal money to people because of their color. So how is this going to be accomplished?

Liberals favorite game changer is to simply change the rules in mid-play. If they don't like the result they are getting in state legislatures, they try Congress. If they don't like the results they get in Congress, they try the courts. If they still like the results, they try international treaties. If they still do like the results, for example with respect to affirmative action and universities' admissions, they simply together decide not to enforce the law and not to observe the law. The same is obviously true with respect to illegal immigration.

Since the American public would not stand for handing $1.2 billion to farmers just because they happen to be black, the deal is set up by way of the lawsuit which the Attorney General settles and the Democrat majority ratifies and, presto, you have a ratified result of an unconstitutional, grossly unpopular socialist and redistributionist political ploy.

Let the lawsuit be played out and let the government pay a judgment if there is one. Any judge who approves such a settlement is acting in violation of the Constitution and in violation of the separation of power. No court should permit itself to be manipulated by the other branches of government in this fashion. No legislature should permit itself to condone unconstitutional and undemocratic redistribution of wealth under the guise of a judicial action. These are flat out frauds. This is tyranny dressed in black robes.

Oh I see this guy has now gotten on the bandwagon of making loans to people that do not qualify. Only this time around he is simply just giving the money away!

I am supposed to just accept it that giving them the money is better than loaning it too them. In a way he is repeating history but in this case he is pre-defaulting for these people getting free money. Plus they will get to avoid having to declare bankruptcy.

What the hell is going on here. Loans were made that should not have been granted, people defaulted and the housing and banking industries went down the chute. Am i supposed to think that.......My God this guy is an a**hole. I'm so disturbed by this give away and people actually cheer this imbecile on.

Typical Newsmax hyperventilating.

Obama is guilty of much, but the article that explains things in a NORMAL fashion shows that he's not trying to do some across-the-board, class-action reparations thing. It's a case that was settled in the 1990's that was already funded to 2.2 billion, that ran out of cash because of inflation.

Newsmax is DEBKA, American-style.
